C.—(ANP)—The case of Ben Bess, who served 15 years of a life sentence for criminally assaulting a woman recently recorded when the woman declared that he was innocent, has caused quite a stir in this state and citizens here and elsewhere are seeking some answers which he has spent in prison. Suggests Purchase of Home One white woman, who did not sign her name, wrote to the South Carolina State, a white daily, suggesting that the state purchase a home and farm for Beta. Her letter was as follows: In the case of Ben Bess, who was betrayed and falsely accused by a woman with a little house on a few acres of land would be very little for the state for the host of the thirteenth best of his life and the shame of being criminal Implements to cultivate the land for a year—not much but it would make him so independent and happy. The woman What If He Had Been Hanged? Another white woman raised the question whether a male role would do if Beverly had been handed the拍击 by the protection. She pointed out this phase of the case as an argument for capital punishment pointing out: "That is the outstanding weakness in the current case there is no opportunity to prosecute a man being proverbially adicted to the crime, but he should have been punished. It is also proper that so far as possible restitution should be given to a man which he suffered." Answering the query as to what provision could be made in such a case, she noted that there was no legal way in which the state might make a gift of any kind to Beverly, as the case was without the governor, however, stated that no way was found, he would appoint a judge to decide the contributions for the purpose of making restitution to the unfortunate NORDIC ASSAULTS COLORED WOMAN IN WESTERN CITY Los Angeles, Calif.—(ANP) Mr. Nannie Bryant was the victim of a malicious street by a white man on Colorado Street when she was jolted about, besides being insulted by the brute.

Convention Hall, Dallas, Texas, May 22, 1928.—One of the most riotous and tumultuous gatherers ever held in this city, or perhaps this state during recent years by the Texas Republicans, was staged here today at the City Hall auditorium, when bedlam broke loose during the viva vote vote on the submission of the majority and minority reports on the temporary roll of the convention, the former being submitted by the Creager-Nolte bloc, and the latter being introduced by the Wurzbach-Littleton-McDonald fact, with Captain John E. Elgin of San Antonio, former Texas ranger and pictureque, pioneer Texas Republican, offering the minority report which offered the name of C. C. Littleton of Fort Worth as temporary chairman of the convention. The majority report recommended Orville Bullington of Wichita Falls as temporary chairman. When Captain Elgin insisted that his motion, adopting the minority report, had carried by acclamation, he immediately recognized C. C. Littleton as chairman, at which point R. B. Creager of Brownville, national committeeman from Texas, and Eugene Nolte of Seguin, state chairman, called police officers, who were patrolling both the interior and exterior of the convention hall, to the rostrum to eject Captain Elgin, Littleton and Harry Beck of Dallas from the convention hall. Their ejections were followed by the withdrawal of the Wurzbach forces, who mobilized their forces in the corridors of the convention hall and perfected their temporary organization. The situation grew both dramatic and tense when the rift, which had been caused by the withdrawal of the Creager-Nolte combine had decided the contests on the previous day, and the hopeless fight waged by Littleton and Elgin, members of the Creager-Nolte executive committee against what they termed as the "high-handed manner in seating the convention, the following counties having Negroes on their delegations; the reward of hostilities Tuesday and a split in the convention. After the Wurzbach forces had withdrawn from the convention hall, their leaders having been ejected by police officers, Creager attacked Wurzbach's political history and stated that the congressman was guilty of duplicity and double dealing in purporting to support Herbert Hoover for the presidential nomination by the Republicans on one hand and then trying to array certain racial groups against Hoover on the other hand. In his scathing denunciation of Wurzbach, Creager stated that the Seguin Republican was not fit to represent Texas in the congress of the United States, and the Creager adherents rent the convention hall with vociferous applause. The national committeeman also charged that C. C. Littleton and F. E. Scobey, two of the moving spirits in the Wurzbach camp, were two of the most bitter fees of the Negro race in Texas, and that no man in the Texas Republican party has ever been as vehement and vitriolic against the colored race as Littleton, an erstwhile Democrat. Creager added that he was not opposed to Negroes participating in Republican affairs, but that he stood "unquestionably for white leadership." Two Delegations CLosen The racial attitude of the two conventions was reflected in the election of delegates and alternates both from the state-at-large and congressional districts, by the opposing and the same party. Worthy gave election 25 white delegates, and 25 white alternates, despite the fact that the delegates were from White Hoover supporters. Hever supporters seated as regular delegates in the contending that convention was a genuine old-fashioned Republic. The delegates of the group elected 3 white delegates-at-large and 1 colored; 3 alternates and 2 colored delegates winning the colored delegates and alternates (elected by their respective congressional districts) according to the leaders of the anti-Hoover movement) to represent their faction at the National Republics May 22, 1928—One of the most ever held in this city, or perhaps the Texas Republicans, was staged auditorium, when bedlam broke on the submission of the majority temporary roll of the convention; the Creager-Note bloc, and the Wurzach-Littleton-McDonald facade of San Antonio, former Texas Republican, offering the mihi of C.

Their rejections were followed bach forces, who mobilized their invention hall and perfected their Convention, which meets at Kansas City, Mo, June 12, 1928. Since Texas will have a contest of the national organization, it will be necessary for the case to be presented and argued before said会议 during the convention. Few Blacks At Creager Meet There were very few color delegates and alternates in the Creamers' delegation, and Negroes on their delegations. Bowin, Bexar, Galveston and Harris distraught when the rift occurred. Because of the fact that Texas Negroes measure, are favorable to the House, they face the fact that to some the House is in belief of the commerce secretary's nomination, it was quite a blow to the member of their race was listed even as an alternate, and when no one would object to the election of a delegate, which were no color delegates, the Wurzbach forces were jubilant with this action on the part of the contests and credentials committees at the Creamers' party, organization the Grace party, and hostile to colored Republicans. Two Dominant Figures While R. B. Creager was the dominant figure at the "regular" convention, William Madison ("Gooseneck Bill") McDonald, Ft. Worth banker, fraternalist and politician, wielded the sceptre at the "insurgent" parley. The "big four" chosen by the Creager convention were R. B. Creager of Brownsville, Eugene Nelte of Seguin, Orville Bullington of Wichita Falls, and T. P. Lee of Houston. The Wurzbach forces chose Harry M. Wurzbach of Seguin, C. C. Littleton of Ft. Worth, W. P. Gage of Dallas, and William M. McDonald of Ft. Worth. Dr. J. T. Walton, San Antonio physician, was elected as one of the four alternates from the Wurzmach convention. Political observers will watch with interest the outcome of the Texas contest at Kansas City, which will determine, in no small measure, the future growth and expansion of the party in Texas. A white Democrat who, apparently, had been keeping up with the fight between these two factions, remarked that "Creager and Nolte have the party machinery, but Harry Wurzbach and Bill McDonald control the votes of the real Republic."

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS Expose Firestone's Method In Africa; Loan Is Criticized Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—In a book recently published last week by the Macmillan Company, and written under the auspices of the Committee of International Research of Howard University, on the native American population, former assistant professor of government and new research director of the Foreign Policy Association publishes for the first time a detailed account of the Firestone rubber conventions in Liberia and the new American ban. In gathering material for this report Mr. Bell recently spent a In his report, Mr. Bail criticizes the activities of the state department and of the department of commerce in promoting American rubber and financial interests in Liberia. He states that the firefighters established the closed door in Liberia, and will result in the confiscation of native land and in compulsory native law, according to the report, the Liberian, according to the report, the established a labor bureau which furnished a firefighters with labor at his disposal on the day. The report states that the deliberately declassified EU European plantations from the west coast of Africa believing that they are detrimental to the States government has thrown its weight in the fire of this system as opposed to the In negotiating for his million-acre concessions, Mr. Firestone, "according to the government contract a seven per cent loan of $5,000,000. Only half of all of its proceeds, except for several hundred thousand dollars is being used in outstanding obligations of the Liberian government of lowering interest charges this refining operation actually increases the loan which would have been paid off in the first year, which will not expire until 1961. The Firestone loan agreement therefore increases Liberia's interest charges by $100,000,000, life of her indebtedness fifteen years. The loan agreement also authorizes the president of the United States" to supervise the collection of the internal government contract of Liberia, and to articulate agreements.

MOTON ADDRESSSES RACE METHODISTS ON VITAL MATTERS Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The church that characterized it as the "one organization that has given to the Negro the opportunity to unharmed development," by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the University of African Methodist Episcopal Church, at the Thursday evening session of the general conference of African Methodist Episcopal Church, Armory, over which Bishop A. J. Carry presided. Dr. Robert R. Moton, successor of the Bishop T. Washington, is recognized as one of the foremost education of the Negro race and one of the most important American. In his address Thursday evening, he congratulated the progress made by the A. M. E. Church field of education, outlining in brief what was being accomplished in the field of education, conducted by the denomination. The church "declared Dr. Moton, "has given the Negro the opportunity to voice his aspirations, to work at his own problems, to express his preferences, and to field the Negro race has achieved its highest form of organized activity and no longer is unharmed development." “It is unfortunate,” continued the speaker, “that our religion should be the source of our division. I have observed that among the so-called heathens it is their religion that unites them, but among us so-called Christians, it is our religion that divides us. We will never win the non-Christian world to Christ until we can show them that under the banner of Jesus Christ we are one. And the thing that will make us one is not our needs, nor yet our organizations, but the fact that we are all united by one spirit, the spirit of Jesus Christ, the spirit of goodwill, for honor and honesty, and for genuine brotherhood. When we Christians, white and black, show that spirit the world will believe what we preach.” See Spivey Printing Co. for good printing. Phones Preston 1996, 9352; 3320 McKinney. Reasonable rates.

The certain man who planted the vineyard is God Himself. 3. The vineyard (v. 1). 4. This means Israel (See Isa. 5:17-17). 5. The Lord went to particular pains to make this nation separate. He bestowed peculiar favors upon it. 6. The husbandmen (v. 1). 7. These were the rulers and teachers of Israel, even members of the San- hedrin. They were the spiritual guides of the people. 8. Servants sent for the fruit of the vineyard (v. 25). 9. These were the various prophets whom God sent to the nation. The maltreatment and rejection of the prophets are fully set forth in the Scriptures. 10. The well-beloved son sent (v. 6). The son here is the Lord Jesus Christ, God's only and beloved Son He came into their midst. Their publication dates for their own venerd upon such villainous ingriftude. He took the place of a judge and pronounced judgment upon them and not upon their venerd. They not only rejected the kingdom but the Son who was King; there taken from them and given to a nation born forth of the fruits thereof. I. The Son of Man Coming In. This is part of the well known Olivet discourse. It gives a prophetic view of the course of time for Christ. This is the crucial criticism to the second advent of Christ. Two great facts are before us: the taking place of destruction of Jerusalem and the second coming of Christ. The one was near, having taken place within forty years, and the other is still future. The order of events as outlined are: A moral condition of the world (v. 133). This pictures the present age and the result of the presaching the gospel in this age many shall come to receive many. There shall be wars and rumors of wars. Nation shall be pitied with the kingdom, with kingship in divers places, accompanied with famine and sickness, with death, which shall be persecuted and arranged before rulers and kings. Brother shall betray brother to death and the faction against him. This will be against their parents and cause them to be put to death. The preachers of the gospel shall be hated for Christ's sake. The 2 days of the tribulation (vv. 14, 23) This time the Antidictor will appear according to the prophecy of Daniel. So severe will be the persecution that except the Lord shortened the days of the prophecy for the eel's sake the days shall be shortened. This great advent (vv. 243, 244) This shall be preceded by great physical disturbances in the world. The moon shall be darkened, the sun shall be obscured, the earth shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power. The earth shall they elect from the innermost parts of the earth and heaven. 4. Instructions in view of the coming of Christ (vv. 232-234). The day and the hour of the film come are unknown to man. In view of this uncertainty we should watch and prepare. III. Warnings. Running through the thirteenth chapter is the exhortation to take heed. In teaching the lesson it would be good to gather them in their ender. 1. Take heed against decivers (v. 0). 2. Take heed to yourselves (v. 0). 3. Take heed against the time of the Lord's coming (v. 22). the land's coming (v. 32) The one command to all is "watch" The Cross and Discipleship The cross is the pattern of service and suffering for the disciples of Christ. The great demand of Jesus is to give Him the power to use it if no need is to get the cross out of discipleship. They go together, and will, until the world has been rewritten.

The rapid pace being set by Negras in the legal profession, the recognition given in much of the state,iego,Washington, St. Louis,Gary, N.Y.where men with legal training are occupying high positions in trust, in several of the communities holding endeavors with our being set by Ne- groes in the legal profession, the recog- nition given in a such cities as Chicago, Washington, St. Louis, Gary and New York, where men will be occupying high p- sitions of public trust, in several of the communities holding judgreships carries with our advanced position, the responsibility of being of even greater service to our group," said Hmer G. Phillips, in addressing the gathering. "The Negro lawyer with adequate ability is better able, as a rule, to protect the interests of the Negro client because, first of all, he has a sympathetic interest and a keener understanding of the coditions which confront the colored petitioner at the bar," said Mr. Phillips. The National Bar Association is as broad in its scope and purpose as the American Bar Association, except that it has no color restrictions. In fact, it has white members, a judge in St. Paul being one of the membership. The officers of the National Bar Association are Honer G. Phillips, Ph.D., president; Lloyd, Mac, Q. Adams, Omana, vice-president; C. Francis Stratford, Chicago, secretary; Georgia Ellis Jones, Chicago, secretary; Ava Bates, Chicago, treasurer; regional directors; Leland Hawkins, San Francisco; George C. Ross, Denver; Gianni E.

ALSON'S DRESSING THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1928 INTER-RACIAL PARLEY HELD IN PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia, Pa.—(ANP)—An audience of upwards of fifteen hundred persons of both races crowded into Broad Street Theatre, Sunday after the opening of the exhibition on the posters as an "All Philadelphia Inter-racial Peace Meeting." The gathering was sponsored by the Interracial Peace Committee, as assistance from the Service Committee, and a special committee from the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom cooperated with the other two committees in putting over what was undoubtedly the largest gathering of race relations in Philadelphia. The array of speakers represented both races in the most distinguished walks of life. The meeting was presided over by Leslie Pincney Hill, chairman of the Interracial Peace Committee. The music was furnished by the Fred Carton chorus, a group from the famous Wanamaker Chorus it is famed for its marvelous singing. Dr. Wilbur K. Thomas represented the American Friends' Service Committee, doing to further the interests of the Inter-Racial Peace Committee. Mr. Wilbur was the management of public welfare of the city of Philadelphia, spoke for the city of Boston, and J. Finney Wilson, the grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. W., spoke for the city of New York, and Mr. bood." Mr. Wilson's speech was a masterly exemplification of Saul of Tarsus, "breathing fire and slaughter in the country but six weeks, spoke of the work of the women of France after work for understanding among nations." The speech of Mayor Mackey, representing the city of Philadelphia, was most effective and beautiful, the room when hard and finished his peal not to send the boys of the world out to face death, and perhaps to The appeal for support of organization and movement was made by the retaliatory of the American Inter-Racial Peace Committee in the theatre an exhibition of the works of Negro artists of the 1930s, Waring, and Alain Freeport.

This beautiful challenge trophy must be won three times in order to secure permanent possession. This race for the cup, the national two mile relay championship of America, saw a great struggle between Marseille, St. Louis, and New York, mainly through the running of Grant, the Tuckegue off of it, who turned in a lead of 20 yards to T. Harris. Hampton's great quartet of sprinters won the spirit relay for relay in the first leg on the John H. Webb trophy in the one mile relay. The spirit medal in two secures the title in time deciding the winners. Tuckegue was a close second, with Clafun third.

SABOTAGE This is May the 10th. I have just read a news story from Washington, D.C., about a banquet that was given to Naval II. Thomas, president of the Association's branch there, told me that he was honoring which any banquet could be stewed upon him. Put me down for that and don't forget 'l- for I have also something else to say. This same news note went on to tell how there was a great storm on the bank, that and stained the water that and stained did not prevent the outlooks of Washington from countering it and stained them and said with the bold indictment: "The storm, however, seemed to have been the worst of all and telegraph—as neither letter nor telegraph of regret was received from a single national officer of the Navy." Ye god! I, William Pickens, an "a national officer of the N. A. A.," said that I took place on April 27th when I read it in a newspaper story two weeks afterwards—and yet the having put in my dutiful attendance on the occasion. I was not invited—I am an pretty humble man, am a pretty humble man, still I am not in the habit of sending letter or telegrams of "regret" that I can send to which I have not been invited. Whether any other national office, or I will not ask them before this letter has been published, because I want to bear sole responsibility for what I have to speak to one of the others, it may seem like inviting them to me, responsibility for what I am going to do. I can speak without hesitation because Neval Thomas knows that I can be a minister to him and his work for the N. A. A. C. P. That makes me suspect that not a single officer of the association rejoiced in the banquet—because I whom he knows to be friend, had to get first news of the event in a New York colored newspaper. The fact that I was not not informed to indicate that it was not the fault of Thomas but perhaps of the "miraior domo" of his banquet arrangement, he said, blaming Thomas but the guilty party, whohever was—even if he be Thomas. Can you see through the thing? It is a plain case of organizational savage who he who the author of the cunning: "Let us leave those fellows uninvited and then—by God we can give him we fail for not being Now, I am always reluctant to colored Americans with any particular color, on the average, very much. I know seems to indicate that people of all races are, on the average, very much colored, on the average, sometimes almost alarmed by the extent of this low type of undercut-ness. If half the energy which colored Americans are expending in trying to be colored for each other, was expended in fighting side by side against their common color, one of the most unbeatable minorities in the world. But they are cer- tainly not the ones trapped for each other. Nothing could be shearer than to force a fellow colorist to refuse him to invite him for being in that very situation—to refuse him an invitation to your party, to make it appear as if he were kept away by his envy or jealousy I speak without fear and without hesitation, for Thomas knows other and more States how I have tried to contribute to the good reputation of Newal and to the success of his family. I have everywhere tried to minimize his. And I am not blaming anybody here. I am not so fond of banqueting, usually have too little to eat and too much to say. But I am blaming myself. I am not so fond of having come as an uninvited guest. Even if I had accidentally or not having come as an uninvited guest, I had been the banquet before it took place, 4 could have sent no word of it, and not having come as an uninvited groom that I was not invited. Now, a word of warning to Mr. Thomas will not do much good for his reputation and advancement to that method. By having come as an uninvited groom and by a sabotage of the very work which you pretend to be honoring others, you will not impress others and to win new friends for him but you will cause him to be hurt. I will not make mistake but he, for not all men will be an considerate as I am trying to be, and not made really by me. I will not make sense of his erring friends who were trying to help him by a little cam, a "big man" by the too simple, too obvious, and too ordinary process of learning.

They defeated Birmingham Blues, Browns, and the Chicago Cubs, five straight games. Not being satisfied, they took the strong Kansas City Monarchs into camp in four out of five games. If they are able to win the road and if they are able to win the playoffs, they finish out in front for the first half. The Detroit Stars seem to be club that they all will have to beat. The Stars are by addition of several of the Kansas City Monarchs and a few clubs is considered the hardest hitting club in the league and at this writing, the Stars are in Chicago and win three out of the first four games played against the world.

The Monarchs at the Birmingham Barons, from past performances should be near the start, have hopped in the series so far play. They are not able to win that won the last half of the 1827 race, but are able to get to some. Someone has played another swing around the circuit.

HospicePlymouth, Bristol 11198 Street Church 1970 MISS VIRGINIA B. MILLER OUR MORTICIANS BY VIRGINIA B. MILLER In the interesting little city of Mineral Wells, one of our popular health balers of Texas, both white and colored, met in joint session to hear the testimony of the organization, Embaling, delivered by Prof. Albert H. Worham, of Chicago. The attendant was exceedingly profitable, the successes were exceedingly profitable. Much advance thought pertaining to the organization, and the successes of the organization, by the popular and efficient instructor Prof. Worham, and very interesting contributions to substantiate the same. Mr. C. B. Cook, president of the State Board, and Mr. T. S. Wright, president of the State Board, were meant for the high standard of excellence which they have set forth in their work, which they and the members of their honorable board are worthy representatives and promoters of the profession, we are appreciative of the part which it is our privilege to play, and which it is our privilege to play it to the very best of our ability. In conjunction with this course of lectures by the State Board of Embalming, the Colored Funeral Directors Association of Texas, Inc., holds their second annual meeting under the admirable leadership of Mr. J. E. Crawford, popular and successful funeral director of Dallas. This association through definiteness of aim, ability of purpose, and loftiness of ideal, which characterized its entire session, revealed itself a real organization, a group worth while. The body, of course, only reflected the likeness of their efficient president who is easily numbered among the best of his kind, and eminently worthy of the high office to which he has been called, and for which he is admirably qualified. Note this sentiment of his apropos of the meaning and value of organization, and find therein the spirit of the men and women in attendance: "The assembling of men and women of the same profession means the association of men and women of the same business interest. It develops the true spirit of brotherhood of man to man in all acts, and it educates him in the exchange of ideas." The program rendered on this occasion a significant milestone, which merited an appreciable degree of inspiration to all representatives of the organization. A well-prepared and entertaining program by local talent, featuring the skills and experience of the was pleasingly directed by Mr. C. D. Dement, of Mineral Wells, and the staff of the association, having received the gavel, take very impersonally on the power if organized effect. At the center of the program, the mineral directors was given which died greatly to the pleasure of the members. The morning and afternoon sessions if the last days were conspicuously spent in purpose and action, which resulted in great and increased inspiration, and much to the profit of appreciation of all present, were delivered, and much to the profit of how to Obtain Co-operation from Employees." "Building State Association," "Old State Ladies' Valuation to Our profession," and, "Are Stats Organized Essential to the Understaff" The president's annual address which follows here, entitled much thought and preparation, and was so greatly inspiring to the members of the organization that they unamously voted its publication. The cash receipts of the session were $126.22. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President E. J. Crawford, Dallas; First Vice President, H. M. McBay, Mexico; Second Vice President, F. E. Lewis, San Antonio; Third Vice President, W. M. Berge, F.I. Worth; Secy-Treas, R. D. Washington, Ennis; Corresponding Secretary, Virginia B. Miller, Houston; Asst. Secy, Helen Hawkins, Dallas; Chaplain, E. D. Scott, Bryan. Members chosen for the Board of Directors were: N. W. Rhambo, S. C. Black, E. R. Clark, Mrs. I. B. Hampton Williams, D. I. Alexander, Mrs. Josie Jones, F. Johnson, L. H. Ladson, A. J. Munday, Mrs. R. B. Leach, H. A. McLemore, and N. S. Everett. The 1929 session will convene in "Heavily Hustler" Crawford's Able Address Mr. President, members of the Colored Parental Directors Association, La-na. It is extremely beneficial that an adress to the Colored Financial THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1928 Association of Texas, Inc., should be entitled, "Our Profession." It is a group of men who the funeral director of today should not forget, it is that "He is a Professional Man." It is that "He is a Professional man," building and co-eract, getting to forget all, except the business side of the work the funeral director must do. He is a family-wide business profession. Indeed, it is both, a business and a profession to keep in the daily work. If the work is the most different task as is faced by profession, and industry of business groups in the old. It takes the honest of brain and the highest of moral character to weigh these two factors of funeral dissatisfaction. He is the most important factor of the other factor. This thought can lead to the other factor. This thought can lead to the other factor. This thought can lead to the other factor. These questions, to speak of them separately—first or firstly. What type of men have now been the pre-war war? Or to state the question in all its embracing and singular form, how many men are there capable of being the most unrestful men? The most unrestful men are the professional and business men that the funeral director business involves—the men who are now being to come to a personal test, many would have to give up their duties, and turn to the work. Obviously, this cannot be done. Relect Hawkins TO Secretary Post Texas Retain Job NEG Chicago, IL—(ANP)—John R. Hawkins, Washington, D.C., was re-elected to the General Secretary of the A.C.E., which was the first of the day. Hawkins re-elected his election to the A.C.E., which was the first of the day. Hawkins submitted his report, which showed that the church was always in financial and financial status. He was not to be re-elected. It was only a question to be re-elected. It was only a question to be made to the election rule would be made to the election rule. It would be a lamination or whether a ballot would be taken, which was predicted by the election. It was a lamination. The election of general officers re-called in all the old officers being successful, the one exception being the election of J.H. Willing, of California to the editor of the Western There is one thing our association in its infancy, can do to impute the failure of our students, can make the business of your association to build at least in our section high qualifications for entrance and can not be overrun by incompetence. While the population of the United States during the past seven years has grown by 10 percent, and the death rate has been materially decreased, the number of unqualified students must be effected. We must effect an intensive and extensive educational program and it must be launched by this association in the spring of 2014 without let a day of the year pass without something being done toward reaching the good of professional ambition and success. Recommendations 1. I recommend that closer relationship be effected through correspondence with our state secretary and president. 2. That a special movement be launched to induce young men and young women to enter our profession. 3. I further recommend that in this meeting there will be some plan worked out to secure the names, addresses and phone numbers of every undertak- er in this great Lone Star State of ours, and, the same be furnished to every member of this association. I would be an ingratiate or it would be an act of ingratitude were I to fail to mention the name of our past and late president, Mr. F. E. Steward of Corsicana, Texas. He strove very hard to aestablish this organization in our state. Also, Mr. E. L. Bradford, our past secretary, of Temple, Texas; both of these men should be given credit for service rendered and their names be spread upon the minutes of our association. Now, my friends and fellow workers, I must close. I trust I have said something of interest and value to you as members of our profession and state association. Our work has just begun. This in fact is our first round. I pray for the arrival of the day when our arrival will be accepted by the people an a badge of respect and confidence. Let us not give up, but press for it. Let us not give up our strength. Let us throw all of our strength of our manhood and womanhood into the arms of success. Let us lift the standard of our association so high that it shall be an honor to each member of the African Methodist Merger letters, "C. F. D. A. of T.—I thank you.

It was evident from the time Prof. Hawkins submitted his report, which showed that the church was advancing financially and sounded a new mate in the convention, that he would be re-elected. It was only a question Saturday as to whether rules would be suspended and the election be made by acclamation or whether a ballot would be taken, which was predicted would be unanimous. The election of general officers resulted in all the old officers being successful, the one exception being the election of J. H. Wilson, of California to the editorship of the Western Christian Recorder. Among the others elected were: Dr. D. M. Baxter, manager of the book concern; Dr. R. W.

A motion to adjourn the whole meeting to the department was "respressed address" by the Bishop W. T. Vermil. No ballot was taken, the motion was adjourned and no votes were spent joking and lobbying. Seven o'clock found the session again in progress and the third ballot candidates, tired and exhausted, the night, presented a rather sorry looking spectacle.

Bishop Brooks, however, took occasion to beseech those who were in the minority to check to "turn him loose," and reminded the angered one that he, the bishop, lived in a country where it is reported that he was a mother to a daughter, a laughter and the teller kept on reading the ballots. Right, eight but the interest did not wane, except when some good breather or sister just had to sleep a little, and the interest was reopened to the little sod.

ALMOST EVERY CITY NOW INVITES YOU TO MEET THE BUSINESS WOMAN Women are taking an increasingly important place in the business of our group as well as in the general business of the country. Of course, the working woman has always been with us; but the distinctly business woman, as distinguished from the industrial worker by virtue of the responsibility for decisions affecting the welfare of stores, offices or other organizations, is not the same as the working woman her work. Very often this work not only compares favorably with that of men similarly situated, but is of a superior quality. At any rate women do not hesitate to submit to the comparison before the seats of judgment created by the men themselves. The writer is a much travelled man, and the story of the woman in business is not new to him. The country affords too many brilliant examples of administrative womanhood for that. However, a few recently acquired acquaintances compel recognition. In pursuit of duty, several cities have been occupied by women in the earliest example of the higher type. A woman has been encountered. It is this group that prompts a story about their sex in business. They are widely scattered as to location, divergent as to their business interests, and each has a personality quite different from the others. The one point in common is that they have been uniformly successful, each in her own way. Each deserves a story and in time it will be forthcoming. They are mentioned here as a group for the encouragement it will create to the James Chestnut died recently in New York after having just about established solid one of the most highly specialized business organizations in the country, the Domestic Credit Company, a concern that makes investigations as to the mental, moral and vocational hazards of insurance risks, applicants for mercantile credit, and for financial accommodations. The company, the widow of the late Nathaniel Dunn and street; and the widow, Mrs. James Chestnut, mother of two bright little daughters, and a former New York and Washington school teacher, has elected "on carry on" the business with its ramifications reaching all over the country. Her report to the National Insurance Association commanded serious respect from that body and assured her the continued business of the organization of that same organization in Columbus disclosed another woman whose ability to analyze facts and figures and erect from her findings a definite business policy, Miss B. A. Saunders, auditor of the Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Company, read a paper on "How To Reduce the Cost of New Business" that started insurance executives by the calculating and neutral minded approach and handling of her subject. Her determination to succeed in the business there from trying to rob the Supreme Life, in order to elevate the standard of office executives' ability of his own concern. Miss Saunders is a college-bred woman with teaching experience, much travel and an intense confidence in figures. In the same town there is a Mrs. Williams, substantially built, a widow of that matronly manner that at once makes one think of home and mother. She is a graduate of the University of Dumfries, family, while Mrs. Williams supervises investments in a theatre, office building and other utilities. So nice is Mrs. Williams that even a reporter obtains that sense of "comfortable feeling" in her presence, and so modest is she that an interview with her would disclose no business interests if one did not broach the subject and broach it gently. None of your vignolery here, just plain solid sense. At another convention, down in Louisville, a tall gracefully slender girl arrested attention, first at a social affair, then later, quite by surprise, in the office of the Domestic Life Insurance Company, where she is mistress of figures and office routine. The signature "M. M. Jones" on a set of insurance statistics doesn't visualize a dainty young miss. Her tables of figures mean business and the calculation of the big business magnate one thinks of the underMPLK. Cleveland, that never-to-be-left-behind lakeside city, presents among its many claims to fame, the Douglas Drug Company, a store at 40th and Central Avenue that commands attention because of its complete equipment, full shelves and ever attentive clerical service. One is pleasantly surprised to find Negroes owning such an institution; and the merits of corporation investment comes to mind, only to be shattered when one meets Miss Clemence Alice Green, sole owner, college graduate, social worker, gymnastic expert and a little-bodied, agile moving young lady who employs seven people, and a large number of national drug Buyers. As n, and despite her five years of success, is turning a course in the science of business administration right now, while romantic-minded young men, and some not so young, vainly pursue her. Say what one will, these women are going forward relatively faster than are our men in business, and each of them demonstrates ability to master one or the other of the most difficult forms of business.

Matthews' victory is attributed to secretary of foreign missions. Moton Principal Speaker Dr. R. R. Moton, principal Toskegge Institute, was the principal speaker of the evening. In explaining a solution for greater racial achievements, he congratulated the progress the A. M. E. Z. church has made along religious and educational lines. “There is more revolution and evolution in this age than at any time in the history of the world,” continued the speaker. He denoted the fact that there are so many religious denominations among Negro church folk. Dr. Moton said, if all denominations among Negroes would combine on fundamentals that affect the race, there would be a heaven or earth. “It is our religion that divides us,” continued the speaker. “You cannot glorify God without serving your fellowman. The Negro in America was put here to save white men from their errors. Until we can convince them that in Christ Jesus we are one, our religion is a failure. When Christians, white and black, show the spirit of peace on earth, and goodwill to all mankind, a serious problem will have been solved.” Church's Influence Strong "The influence of the church is strong. While the churches are pro-Christian, the church's solution must also be found for further racial advancement and disaster in the world. When anything happens that tends to drop religion and politics to remedy the matter, the various Negro denominations should combine their efforts to do without limitation or change in denominational creed.

NEGRO PHYSICIAN IS COMING BACK BY ALGENNON B. JACKSON, M.D. (For The Associated Negro Press) The earliest known physician was Imhotep, a medical demedian, the anaclasius of the Egyptians, who flourished in the Nile. His copesus of the Egyptians was exceedingly rich; one papyrus mentioned over seven hundred drugs; hymenology was the main medicine was associated with magic, and was a priestly occupation. The earliest recorded use of secrections for medicine is to be found in the medical papyrus. While there are isolated fragments, the most important medicine is to be found in our knowledge of Egyptian medicine in obtained from the medical papyrus. Most of our knowledge of Imhotep was a Negro, or at least was of Negro extraction. This to my mind raises a nightly interest in the real father of medicine was a Negro physician. Of course, there is a real father of medicine. It should be our business as a race to at least be interested in making as extensive research as possible. The National Medical Association, composed of Negro physicians, denomination of the efforts put forth by us to re-organize our place in society, organization of nearly the best and most progressive physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the country, and a pose of raising their professional standards that a people may be bet.

Hawkins Delivers Keynote Address At AME Meeting Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) The keynote address of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is in session here at the Eighth Ingram Archaeological Museum, R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C., financial secretary of the denomination. Of course, Professor Hawkins did not set out to play the role of a historian. Instead, he reported the report of the financial department of the church, of which Bishop A. J. Carey is president. Before he ended the report, however, the cheers and applause, which frequently interrupted the report, were testimonial following the report stamped him as the official keynote of this denominational conference, which is more than five thousand people here and which is the cynosure of all eyes Suggests Progressive Program After rendering the report of the financial department, which indicated that the A. M. E. church is growing more religious and religious influence, Prof. Hawkins launched one of the most progressive programs ever implemented in the church. This program was prefaced with a plea "to put business in our religion and religion by prominent churchmen of the cloth and laity that if adopted, it would serve to solve many of the problems in our church," he made for a more satisfied bishopric ministry and laity. The work of the church," declared Mr. Hawkins, "we must consider it as related to five different groups—the laity, pastors, bishops, and bishops." Discussing the plight of ministers, the speaker criticized the method of paying ministers as now being used, saying, "the ministers," he said, "are sent to the people with the understanding that the church is based on a basis of payment for service, with so much cash and other considerations in keeping with the classifica- eight equipped to serve that group of people who have little experience. Encourage your student, scientist, dentist and pharmacist to join this organization and you will be able to help students from its annual meeting, and he will come bring you to a finer, better, more advanced facility. This association of earnest students acknowledges of whose success is below. the college has forged ahead and now starts out on a program which is designed to prepare students to be one of the largest institutions of our group, both in education and research. Trent Does Notable Work Dr. Trent, during his few years of administration, has instituted many changes and has done the same time to maintain the tradition of his institution. Realizing the need of economy, he has endeavored to all but eliminate the need to the detriment of the college. Cut down the expenses of the college by 50%, to the detriment of a fertile land, adjacent to the college and owned by it, has been turned into a foodstuff department. It has raised almost all of the foodstuff used and some to sell. This is a rathdrum that has no industrial or vocational department. The farm is well kept and apparently well maintained. Apparently, Dr. Trent feels that efficient teachers and a well-filled I-12 school are essential for the new buildings and equipment. This is evident from the type of men which compose the faculty. The men are more educated than the university of the world, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University, Northwestern, tion of the particular charge. The pastor has nothing to say concerning where he must go, and must of course be a member of the officers and members of his congregation to pay him. In some cases, the pastor may be most others it is inadequate and it becomes a daily struggle for maintenance. After pointing out the difficulties brought on by such a system and the fact that the minister's needs are not met, the pastor must vent of the people, Professor Hawkins declared that "a higher value should be placed on the ministry, and the field should be made attractive to that type of man. In building and an inviting parsonage to which the pastor can take his family and find the comfort of a place. This also applies to presiding elders." The minister should know what he should know what they are expected to pay, rather than have a running on of an indefinite and uncertain extent, and should know what they are expected to raise on certain Sundays, plus all class duties. Proper attention to the pastor's duties making a contented, happy ministry, and a more hearty co-operation on the part of a faithful and dedicated man. Discusses Pay of Bishops Turning to the bishopric, Professor Hawkins says: "Under our system all members of the church are required to authority, responsibility and remuneration for services all are supposed to work in harmony, co-ordination and remuneration in a provincial districts into that of one great connectional system. That the bishops stand at the head of this system is a very important methodism. There is, of course, the big question as to whether or not the bishops are to commute with the responsibilities and duties of this office. "On this point there is considerable doubt as to whether the fact that there are certain prerequisites employed by some bishops which, if they are not properly stipulated in the discipline, would make a considerable increase in their allowance. I think all will agree that from a purely business standpoint, it would be better to change this method by paying our bishops a salary more nearly commensurate with their services and the annual conference that no part of the general funds be diverted from monetary gifts. That such a condition exists, has something to do with the fights made over assign In the name vein Prof. Hawkins pointed out the weak points of the methods of church and suggested that church and suggested that they be commensurate with their service rendered and what their purpose would be to kill the sick and infirm.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, MAY 26, 1928 HOOVER AND THE "RACE QUESTION" Some of the white daily newspapers of the South, and particular one local daily, seem to be greatly perturbed and excited with the order recently issued by Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover abolishing racial segregation in his department at Washington, D. C. Raising their customary howl and waving the incendiary flag of social equality, these Nordic editors are running true to bourbon force in their editorial tirades upon and bourbon invectives against Mr. Hoover: contending that he has established "social equality" in his department at the national capital, and that his nomination and election to the presidency will endure, supremacy, and enthrone "social equality" between the colored and the white in interracial racism, domestic disorders and internecine strife. Mr. Hoover is one of the most outstanding advocates of efficiency, and this recent order of his, which abolished the segregation of colored employees in his department (a practice he inherited from a preceding administration), was issued to insure and assure a larger degree of efficiency and professionalism not to force members of the two race together along social lines. There can be very little sociability or fraternizing among employees if they give their employer an honest day's labor. Mr. Hoover's attention was called to the fact that many colored employees, who were under the civil service rules and were getting salaries for a higher grade of work, were segregated and forced to do work below their standards, and colored employees in certain sections of the department. When Mr. Hoover discovered that colored civil service employees drawing $2400 per annum, were assigned to $1800 per annum posts merely in order to segregate said colored employees, he readily recognized the fact that the government was paying them a salary based on the number of work and then summoned employees, merely because of racial prejudice be shunted off in some corner of the building and made to work below their civil service classification and salary scale. In abolishing racial segregation from his department, Mr Hoover has simply his duty as any other patriotic American ought to do. (He did not afford to Hubert Work to do a similar order in his department—interior), and the question or issue of "social equality" is not only far-fetched, but it is in reality begging the question and trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill, a game at which some of these Southern white editors are quite adept. Whenever some black men given a post or portfolio which beckons them to white, some of these Dixie alarms become unduly excited and begin to visualize the black men gripping, enveloping and subduing the nation and relegating "white supremacy" to the archives of antiquity. Under Democratic governors in several Northern states, Negroes hold important posts, work beside the men and women, become unduly excited and begin from such sections regarding the bugaboo of "social equality". During the two national administrations of President Grover Cleveland a Negro served as registrar of the United States treasury, with quite a number of white employees connected with department; and even the late President Wilson, when first elected to office, tendered a copy to an Oklahoma black man to accent the post. Tammany Hall, chief backer of Governor Alfred E. Smith for the Democratic presidential nomination, has several Negroes occupying official positions in the same rooms with whites in New York City, and Southern newspapers are not showing any situation. In fact, New York City has a strong and powerful colored Democratic organization, and the issue of "social equality" is never raised when it comes to distributing some of the pie to the "fairly" chbony-bud Democrats. The issue of "social equality" working side by side, are placed in the category of being "social equals," then numerous Southern plants and industries are guilty of instituting and maintaining a policy of "social equality" between the white and colored races. For the lack of a better term, so many white Southerners confuse "social intermingling" with "social equality," neither of which is authorized by law, custom or force; for no effect, statute can compel persons to be social equals who not favorable to or inlined along such lines. These belated attacks upon Mr. Hoover by the Dixie newspapers will have no appreciable effect upon his candidacy, and The Informer is of the opinion that they could serve their Democratic party by making their editorial eyes on Tammany Hall and the "sidewalks of New York!" Just to refresh some of these Southern white editors' minds on the origin, history and tradition of the national Republican party, the Informer points out that the party sprang into existence principally on the issue of human rights, liberty and freedom, with the enslaved Negro as the fundamental cause for the birth of this new political party; and from 1860 until 1928 the Republican party has not only been the Negro's bulwark of safety, but this same party has been instrumental in upholding, safeguarding and maintaining American ideals and In fact, it has been the only political party in the country big enough, courageous enough and democratic enough to occupy such high ground, and all the alloyes, rantings and cravings of a coterie of Dixie editors can not sway Mr. Hoover from his course of holiness in the party in the middle and confidence the rank of Americans have in the party of Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, Coolidge and Hoover! America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper RESTATING OUR PARTISAN POSITION Having been the first colored editor of this state and section of the country to openly espouse the candidacy of Hon. Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination; and having worked in conjunction and harmony with the regular Republican organization in Harris County, headed by R. B. Morris, after a truce was agreed upon during the late winter to unite the two parties in a faction, the Republican program a program of pessimism (which was ultimately consummated), this writer was chosen as one of the 30 delegates from Harris County to the recent state convention. For the first time in eight years there was no genuine split in the local Republican forces, and, while a few dissatisfied and disgruntled Republicans of色 essayed to hold another county convention here, their own defenders, Captain John Elgin and C. C. Littleton, took the position before the state executive committee at Dallas, Monday, May 21, that these colored "holsters" really had no case, the captain making the motion to seat the Morris delegates. Having been elected and seated as regular delegates, there was nothing else for the Harris County colored delegates and alternates to do honorably except to remain in the deliberations of the convention to which they were elected as representatives. To have done otherwise in the face of our local harmony program would have been the grossest act of perfidy and treachery. While this editor and paper have endorsed the Hoover candidacy; worked in harmony and harness with the local leaders; insisted upon an instructed delegation, if the uninstructed groups were anti-Hooverites, neither this editor nor the Informer has ever endorsed the Creager-Nole administration of partisan affinity that he would find that our position was somewhat, in this situation, of no consequence. With approximately 12 Negroes in the Crealer-Note convention as delegates and alternates (with about 5 or 6 votes between them), criticism is being hurled and will be hurled at those who were members of this convention, due to the fact that the Crealer-Note regime did not consider a single Negro when it came to voting on the candidates and electing delegates and alternates, or presidential electors. This editor, starting months before the convention, began an agitation for racial representation on the Republican delegation from Texas to the national convention of the party; and, as secretary of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, which held a statewide conference at Dallas, March 4, 1928, it befall our lot to introduce a "harmony resolution" setting forth our objectives and naming or suggesting two colored men for positions in the party. The Negroes were adopted, and there the matter virtually ended, though a few colored Republicans kept up a constant and persistent agitation for this type of recognition. When National Committeeman R. B. Crealer, titular head of the Texas party, refused to confer with some of the leading Negroes of Texas in an effort to patch up the internal differences and affect a united party. The Informer saw the handwriting on the wall, as it related to Negro delegates, or to a Negro delegate from the state-a-large to the national parley of the party. In refusing to place a single colored Republican on his delegation to the national convention, either as delegate or alternate, Mr. Creager is merely living up to his well-earned reputation as being a confirmed believer and firm advocate in the "illy-white" doctrine; and when some of the leading white Republicans of the state are convinced that Mr. Creager and some of his Nordic Negrophoses from this course and show their wisdom of pursuing a real Republican and American policy, it is absurd and preposterous to criticise and hang in effigy a handful of black men for not being able to get the race representation on the Creager-Nolte "illy-white" delegation. This writer was not a candidate for any such position, per se, but we believed before the convention and still believe that such action on the part of the Creager convention was not only unwise but also unjust. Mr. Creager is not a candidate of the party in this state, and seriously hamper the candidacy of Mr. Hoover in doubtful and pivotal states, where Negroes constitute the balance of power in national elections, if this "illy-white" delegation is seated at Kansas City and their action given official approval and endorsement. Mr. Creager, having pulled off this stunt before and gotten by with it, seems to be of the opinion that he knows his lines; but we have a hunch that such unrepublican and unfair actions are laden with dangerous, if not in reality loaded with dynamite or nitroglycerine. TEXAS HUNS START LEAGUE SEASON It remained for a gang of barbarians and hoodlums in East Texas to place this state back in the Lynching League and thereby qualify for the 1928 season, though off to a late start, by lynching a colored American. Charged with killing an officer of the law and seriously wounding another guardian of 'o' the law, an irate mob of Shelby County men, broke into a tree on the court house lawn, according to newspaper reports. This demonstration of savagery, barbarism and anarchy marks the first mobocratic incident in Texas for some time, and again places Texas in Judge Lynch's infamous and dastardly loop. We have been waiting to see what action our constitution-loving governor is going to take in this matter, since he is such a zealous defender of law and order and bitter foe to any person who nullifies, ignores or overrides the written laws of the state and nation! Perhaps he was so engrossed with his coalition with the At Smith Democrats of Texas, at the Democratic State Convention in 1928, that he was called off and officially called to his attention yet; or it may be that, for the time being, our law-enforcing governor, is more concerned with the living than in the dead; more interested in democracy at Beaumont in May and at Houston in June than in mobocracy and "hellocracy" in Shelby County in May! Maybe our governor has already issued a statement concerning this mob violence; perhaps he has already dispatched rangers and spear investigators to find out the criminals in whom he is bringing them to justice! We wonder if it is possible that such steps and actions have been taken, and the publication of the same escaped our attention? When the United States Supreme Court outlawed and invalidated the "white man's primary" statute of Texas, our governor urged the state legislature to write another statute seeking to set forth a legal tribunal on the highest legal tribunal in the country, and then after same was submitted and enacted, he grew indignant when the Democratic state executive committee did not invoke same in their official call for the recent presidential preferential primary conventions. To be consistent, the governor should now urge the passage of a new statute, the Texas legislature to outlaw lynching and to help secure for every man in this state a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. Those East Texas hoodlums and mobocrats, who took the law in their own hands and proceeded to mete out summary punishment to an American citizen for an alleged or crime, have been accused of lynching a contender for titular honors in the Lynching League of America. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings JUSTICE AND JOBS JUSTICE AND JOBS A BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Does the Negro want justice or there ought to be a compass does he want jobs? The fact is he wants both. The politician seeks justice and the politician might ignore them—the other on the one in the middle—the other on the outside of the tor demands justice rather than jobs. The two quets can hardly go justice and jobs—although the together. You cannot consistently that end by different means.

The Negro office seeker and office holder is often times much maligned and abused for his silence when the rights of the race are at stake. We have more knowledge than he is dismissed the Brownville soldiers there was not a single Negro office holder who dared utter one word of reproof or condemnation. It is said that when public criticism became to unseem the first of the most intolerant temperament, he called his black cabinet to council and demanded that they stand up and defend his policy before the public they asked the courage either to obtain their white. It is not to find their black constituents. They resorted to the expedients of prudence, and either indulged in apologetic neutrality or sank into in-mourish silences. It is never the other. Shakespeare is internally right—he was not the most man who hangs on princes favor. Those who consent to become a part of an administration must support the police. That is the most important. This is especially exacted to colored officials. They are given the reward of office for the very purpose of keeping the Negro race in good humor and well disposed to the powers of the American. The can and justice for their race only in a limited degree. The allowed limit must not be transgressed. The job holders, however, have the advantage of being on the inside. They are not always so much as to be detaught as would have been absolutely ineffective unless he had entire to the ruling Pharaoh. The politician is in a strategic position, in that he can still be the president and cabinet president. This is the race feels concerning any proposed policy of line of procedure. Speaking of agitators, their service scarcely receives appreciation by the public. Thomas form the solitary exception so far as I now recall. During the three decades since I have been involved in the press, I have nuzzled and attended numerous banquets proffered to some celebrity for the occasion. In the race these have been given in honor of political celebrities whose claim to public service rested on the public. So, es I started out ter say, on lah Friday week, I sided妒 e as weak kid's day.

The politician and agitator met in common discussions that assigned different parts of the same tank to secure for the race justice.

Foraker of Ohio, stood out herologically against the Republican party, even single Negro politician in question for jobwork this valiant favor. It is a current saying among this type of office seekers that the Republican party favors them. The same politicians who supported Roosevelt at his victory in the Brownville issue were the supporters of the reactionary band warfare. During the last half-century, not only did he have a word to say against the Kikux Klux Klan which was insinuating its grand Old Party. The bosses had passed down the word "Mum" in the game. The bosses had excluded from office, the race will be practically eliminated from the equation of government. The demand for politicians who, while seeking jobs in the active voice, will at least keep and advance in a passive voice. After severing his relations with the state institution of learning, he returned to Houston his "first love," the teaching profession and devoted the teaching profession and gave up the work in quest of health. Prof. Atherton was a polished gentleman, dignified, educated, yet ever sympathetic to students and teachers, and indelibly upon not a few of the students and graduates of the local high school where he served so efficiently.

His footprints upon the sand of time. Now is the turn of the agitation whose singleness of quest is for justice. While he may recognize the importance of jobs, he knows that he can neither seek nor accept public positions and remain true to his conviction. Whenever any one accepts a favor from a politician he is expected to pay back in only such terms as the politician can appreciate—healthy, obedient and uncompliant. The politician has but one commodity and that is votes, for which he pays in terms of money or jobs. There are no other coins but these in his realm. He is perfectly willing to promote justice, if the promotion can be made to pay in terms of votes. President Harding was a perfectly willing to appoint and secure the confirmation of Walter Cohen against the accepted policy of his party, the parties as well as South and against the power declaration of the state deemed the vote of the Louisiana delegation which Cohen controlled essential to his renomination. But the reformer who follows the guide of his conscience cannot pay so heavy a price for the sake of office. The Negro has sunken almost to the zero point in the scale of public recognition because he has sought jobs rather than justice. Any people who stand up for their own rights will in the same way receive the recognition. But a people who will harter rights for jobs will soon find themselves without either.
